Calissa Offshore Tackle 110mm California Inshore Fishing - Special Jerkbait Crankbait Surf Flash Fishing Salt Pro Lure Minnow Zebra MS Metallic Sardine Glow 110

Two weeks ago I used the lure on during party boat trip when we came across a school of bonitas. My first four cast caught bonitas on lure. Every other cast after I either landed bonitas or barracuda I am not a fan of bonita or barracuda but the action was exciting. The lure is a magnet for top water fish.

Stunning

I have been using the Calissa Sardine Glow 110 for only a couple months now. Mainly for surfperch, halibut and striped bass on the California coast and in the Bay Area. I have also been using its competitors products as well for my own observation and comparisons. I will say that I really prefer the action of the Calissa over the others! Seems like the Calissa has more of a roll with the back and forth action as the bait swims through the water. From my further observations, the competitors baits have the back and forth action only. In my opinion, the roll to the action of the bait just adds more action to entice fish to strike. As for casting the Calissa. I found that the Calissa flew truer through the air than the competitors. At least more times out of 10, the competitors would helicopter through the air during casting. Resulting in shorter cast distances and shorter retrieves. The only thing I dislike about the Calissa are the hooks. I think Calissa should upgrade they're hooks and maybe charge a little more for their product. Most of us are paying $2 to $3 more just to upgrade the hooks. I would also love an opportunity to sit down and come up with some color schemes for stripers here on the Bay Area beaches, inside of the bay and the delta. Stripers absolutely love plugs that have a roll to the action. I think Calissa is going to be a plug that's going to be around for some time. I hope anyways.

I have yet to hook a fish with these lures but so far I like the action. It casts very well and with good distance. It doesn't helicopter and tangle much like other lures. My only complaint is the quality of the hooks. But I'll wait until I hook a fish before I can really judge how well the hooks perform.

If you don't want to pay the extra money for a LC, then Kalissa is awesome. Works the same way you just have to know how to use it. Also, it's good to have a little luck on your side. Hooks are solid but can rust quicker than the LC. Just a slight deduction there so make sure you rince after saltwater use.
